Ornamental Gardens Summer 2007 

A walk in the ornamental gardens at the experimental farm in Ottawa. Lots of birds around ... sea gulls near the chip wagon :-) and small birds playing in the bird bath.

Had to stop down because I was experimenting with flash for fill. Not sure I like this one, but I always like fields of flowers.

This gull was quite amusing ... apparently something in the garden freaked it out here.

Extremely cute bird ... I was lucky that I positioned myself down wind and caught this moment when the air fluffed him out.

Tried to fill flash the inside a bit ... worked ok. The red channel did not blow out, so I was able to do whatever I wanted with the image.

Not sure I like this ... the center is nice and sharp, but doesn't look quite real enough.

I don't normally like blurred subjects ... but this bird was just too cute.

Almost looks like he is walking out onto the shore ... Godzilla-like.
